Hi internals, I have updated the RFC for a #[Deprecated] attribute that wasn't completed for PHP 8.0 due to time constraints and I am able to restart the discussion now.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecated_attribute The following updates have been made: - focus on only method and function deprecations for now, removed class/property/constant deprecations. - a section on explaining the runtime effects of deprecations in PHP, and a note that this RFC is about completing deprecation support within the existing model, while changes to deprecations in general are out of scope / a disjunct concern for a different RFC. Sara proposed a much improved implementation over my initial patch, by using the already existing ZEND_ACC_DEPRECATED constant on userland functions. The resulting implementation is therefore much simpler and really just extending existing function deprecation support from internal to userland functions. You can find the PR here: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/6521 Let me know what you think. greetings Benjamin
